4000-year-old sample from the Middle Nile a potential source of early eastern Africa pastoralists

[Cognitive]

Curious, how do people tell West African/Bantu admixed Nubian from the norm?

For instance in the above we got a Nubian man on the left and a Sa’idi old man on the right.
Do these faces count as the norm or West-African admixed (like, significantly admixed)?

Neither of them look west african to me.

Those look like the norm, outside of Dongola it's rare to find Nubians with West African ancestry. And even then Dongolawis that have it only score 5-15%.

Some Dongolawis, the man on the right looks like he could have West/Central African ancestry

It's the facial structure, not necessarily just having a flat/wide nose. For example this lady (likely from the Shaigiya tribe as it was taken in jebel barkal) has such a nose but her features look very Nubian

On the other end of the spectrum

Tbh I see a lot of Sudanese people with wide noses, or with Semitic noses. I don’t think it’s due to Bantu admixture. It’s common with Egyptians as well:
